Iron shafts

[Undershooter]

Just when demoing things. I like them but the problem for me seems to be weight. I've had a hard time finding something in the right flex that's still heavy enough for me.

You could try soft stepping the X in the pro? That should be more than heavy enough. Or even double soft stepping them.

Might try that, I plan to see a fitter before making any switch but i figured it would be an outside the box idea to get the fit right

I'll check them out but I'm not a fan of the kbs counterbalance

Well if anyone was ever interested on the specs of the Monacos I got ahold of them. At least for S and TX flex

Only a couple of grams different from my X7s.

 

Btw Theo why not just pull your PX Flighted from the Tmag MCs? They should go nicely into the Hogans for you.

Because I want to keep a backup set just incase lol. It's also been a few years since fitted into those so I probably should get refitted after some refinement of my swing since then

It's still pretty easy to pick up a set of PX flighted shafts to have as a back up and/or put in a new set.

I'm pretty intrigued by the KBS Tour FLTs now. Might get a set to start my DIY club building career.

Mine are hard stepped so I would be short a shaft because I've only seen them 3-P

Why? Technically you only have 4-pw in the Hogans.

Edit: nevermind, brain thought soft step not hard step.

So how would you hard step them? 2 pw shafts then down?

Ok so I consider myself relatively knowledgeable about equipment and in particular shafts. But sometimes I'm not sure what differentiates one shaft from another and by how much. My knowledge is mostly of low launch stuff.

 

The goal right now is to find something to go into the Hogan PTx irons. The KBS tourV 120x just feel really soft to me and aren't working out. This is going to be kind of difficult because I want super low launch and spin from 6i/7i-pw and something a little higher launch in the 4i/5i and maybe 6i. The flighted sets all seem to be too soft from what I understand and have tried. Not many high swing speed players want flighted shafts and while I probably don't need them, these irons may or may not(depending how testing goes) be in the bag for a long time to come so its worth it to look.

 

I understand the the DG AMT aren't flighted and are just weight sorted and get heavier through the set so that may be an option. DG Pro sort of peaked my interest as well. What about DG black gold? Is that just an older version of DG pro? I don't know as much about some of the more exotic shaft options but I know Nippon Super Peening Blue have been recommended to me in the past.

 

About me: SS with the driver is 120ish and 6i is around 100. Transition is on the faster side but working on it. Previous shafts that I've used that have worked well in the past are:

PX 6.5/7.0

DGx100/X7

KBS Ctaper130x

 

Any input would be helpful. And yes i'm definitely a tinkerer, I know.

ive used DG Pro and I like them the most out of all the dynamic gold models. On paper it should do what your asking but they are a lighter shaft just so you know.

I wish I could give more input but I don't have experience with those other models, sorry.

Two Questions.

 

1) Does anyone have the stock graphite MRC Kuro Kage shaft in AP1's  or any other iron for that matter.

 

2) For club builders.  When measuring an iron to see it's length, where do stop on the bottom?  Where the ferrules goes into the head or all the way to the bottom of the head on the heel...or somewhere else?

 

Thanks

To answer #2, it's generally from the butt of the shaft to the point on the head where the hosel bends into the heel of the club. The picture below is of my gap wedge which is 35.5"

Great Picture Joe..That's exactly how I measured one of mine today, just wanted to make sure I did it correctly.
